Yes, it is true, both mass spectrometry and infrared spectroscopy involve interaction of molecules with electromagnetic waves. ;Mass spectrometry method is used to determine the mass of a substance while infrared spectroscopy is used to determine the functional groups in molecules. Both methods involve the analysis of electromagnetic light interaction with molecules.

Explain the differences in structure and use for life between oxygen gas in the atmosphere and ozone.
navik [9.2K]

Answer:

Most of the oxygen in the atmosphere is in the form of O2, which means it is made up of molecules containing two oxygen atoms. Ozone, however is O3, which means it is made up of molecules containing three oxygen atoms. O2 is what we breath, and what plants release from photosynthesis. Ozone occurs naturally high in the stratosphere, where it absorbs ultraviolet light, protecting us here on the surface from skin cancer. Ozone can also occur closer to the surface of the earth as a pollutant. It is formed from reactions with O2 and chemicals emitted from factories and cars. It comes in the form of smog.

So in general:

Oxygen (O2): Essential to human life

Ozone (O3) in the stratosphere: essential to protecting life on earth

Ozone (O3) on the surface of the earth: toxic to human life, caused by pollution

A Heavy crate applied a force of 1500 N on a 25m2 piston. What force needs to be applied on a 0.8m2 piston to lift the crate?
Aleks04 [339]
25/1500 is equal to 0.8/x
0.8*1500 is equal to 1200
1200/25 is equal to 48 N

Jupiter and Saturn each have the same three basic cloud layers, but the spacing of the layers differs on the two planets. Why is
-Dominant- [34]

Answer:

b. Jupiter’s greater gravity has compressed the layers, so they are closer together there.

Explanation:

The value for Jupiter mass is 1.8981×10²⁷kg, while the mass of Saturn is 5.6832×10²⁶kg, so the different layers of clouds in Jupiter will be submitted to a greater gravitational pull because it has a bigger mass, as is established in the law of universal gravitation:

F = G\frac{m1m2}{r^{2}}   (1)

Where m1 and m2 are the masses of two objects, G is the gravitational constant and r is the distance between the two objects.

As it can be seen in equation 1, the gravitational force is directly proportional to the product of the masses of the objects, so if the mass increase the gravitational force will do it too.  

For the case of Saturn, it has a lower mass so its layers of clouds will suffer a weaker gravitational pull. That leads to the three clouds being more spacing that the ones of Jupiter.

A ball of 10kg falls from rest from a height of 150m, Neglating air resistance, calculate its kinetic energy after falling a dis
GaryK [48]

Answer: 3920\ J

Explanation:

Given

mass of ball m=10 kg

It is placed at a height of 150 m

It is dropped from the height and allowed to free fall for 40 m

Velocity acquired by the ball during this fall is given by v^2-u^2=2as

Insert u=0, a=g

\Rightarrow v^2-0=2\times 9.8\times 40\\\Rightarrow v=\sqrt{784}\\\Rightarrow v=28\ m/s

Kinetic energy at this instant

K.E.=\dfrac{1}{2}\times 10\times 28^2\\\\\Rightarrow K.E.=3920\ J
